[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like, these are your words exactly: "I don't have an issue with there being kids from other areas at the school."[/quote] I meant that I don’t have an issue with any kid attending our school, I just think we need solutions that don’t involve people lying and breaking the law. It’s not a personal issue with any family. It’s that there are actually rules in place and they exist for a reason (largely: funding) and we need a solution that is legal and functional. Having some parents commit residency fraud while the rest of the school community pretends it isn’t happening is not a good solution. And yes, it is absolutely confusing for the kids. If you don’t think it is, then you’ve never had your kid say “hey how come larla and her parents live so far away?” and not being able to answer fully or truthfully.[/quote] Don't you have bigger problems to address in your life and community than your small child's "confusion" about where another kid lives? Come on. [/quote] I love this one. It's what people say when they don't have a real argument to make and know they are wrong. "Who even has time to worry about this?" This is an actual crime with real victims. It's a form of theft (from tax payers) and in the cases of schools with limited seats, it absolutely hurts kids who may not be able to attend their IB school, or who wind up in crowded classrooms. This is not a victimless crime, and most people don't do it -- plenty of people in PG county just send their kids to school there! There is absolutely no reason why some small number of families who are willing to break the law should get to send their kids to schools that are more convenient for their commute just because. You have no argument against this and you know it.[/quote] It says a lot more about you that you waste your mental energy on this “crime” compared to other things. [/quote]
